P2We left Taipei in the morning to set out on our journey to Gongliao. There are stone houses standing for hundreds of years. Due to the fierce seasonal winds there, the houses in Gongliao had to be constructed with strong materials, like stones, to prevent them from collapsing. We asked an elderly man for more details about these buildings. “Did you notice the thick walls and windows? The thick walls are meant to block the waves. However, if seawater floods into the house, the people inside can get out through the windows in the back of the building,” he told us. In order to stay alive, humans always have to adapt to nature, and these stone houses are great examples of this.

Last week, I learned some health knowledge from the magazine. For example, fast food companies have added lighter food items such as salad and yogurt to their menus.
